Hungary, Slovakia agree to build new motor fuel pipeline
Change language:
Hungary and Slovakia have agreed to build a new motor fuel pipeline connecting MOL Group’s Danube Refinery in Hungary with its Slovnaft refinery in Bratislava, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó said in Brussels on Monday.
At a press conference after a meeting of his European Union peers, Szijjártó said an agreement was signed on the new pipeline with Slovak Minister of Economy Denisa Sakova.
The 127km pipeline, to be completed in H1 2027, will have a capacity for 1.5 million tonnes of petrol, diesel and other crude products, he added.
The pipeline will “reduce the potential for Ukrainian leaders to blackmail” Hungary, Szijjártó said.
